The exact origin of tulips in the north and south coasts of China, Central Asia, Iran, Turkey and northeast China has been difficult to verify, but at present, tulips are mostly considered to be native to Ceylon and the southwest Mediterranean. Nowadays, tulips have been widely planted in every corner of the world, among which Dutch cultivation is the most popular and has become a commercial production. Gardens all over China are also cultivated. As early as the17th century, it was specially planted in the royal gardens of the Ottoman Empire for the royal nobles to watch. [1] The earliest tulip planted in Europe was imported from Turkey. 1593, Dutch businessman Guesters imported the first tulip root from Constanyine (now Turkey). China introduced it in the19th century. The flowering period varies with the latitude of the growing area, generally from late March to early May. Although there are more than 2,000 tulip varieties in the world, only about 150 tulip varieties are mass-produced. [2] The charm of tulips fascinates many people. Many famous parks and tourist attractions in the world are inseparable from it. On the flower beds of the White House and the Louvre Museum in France, countless tourists come to browse and appreciate its beauty every year. Not only that, it is also the most valuable flower material in artistic flower arrangement. Its flower stalk can be as long as 40 to 50 cm.
